The showkeys output shows that the kernel driver is synthesizing the
correct keypress events for these hotkeys, but that the desktop stack is
not subsequently able to handle them.
We can easily restore the sony scripts to the acpi-support package, but
the right way to fix this is if gnome-power-manager (or other desktop
package as appropriate) will know what to do with these events on your
hardware. So I'm opening a task on gnome-power-manager for this. If
that doesn't manage to work itself out in time for release, I'll restore
the acpi-support script.
